w LA Uproar Continues 'Political Boss' Charge Hurled LOS ANGELES W Controversy over the Los Angeles Dodger Chavez Ravine, deal' hit another peak Tuesday, with councilman John Holland accusing Dodge; president Walter p Malley of try ing to become a political boss. O'Malley in reply accused Hol land, arch enemy of the Chavez Ravine deal, with trying to throw a red herring" into the issue. There was aa uproar, whea television cameras centered on Holland and his council asso ciate, Pat McGee. Other council men, who' have voted for the Chaves Ravine deal, demanded to know why the TV camera-; men had been tipped tff la ad vance of the meeting of the council. . Holland introduced two photo stats of documents purporting to show that O'Malley had vetoed a press release issued jointly by the city attorney and county counsel May 2, 1937. Holland said this pic tured O'Malley as aspiring to be come a political boss -and cen sor." O'Malley, from his office, de clared: . . ' "This Is a red herring, and aa old one." He explained that the May 2 re lease was not approved by him "because on that date we were considering ways 'and means of bringing major t league baseball to Los Angeles and not specifically the Brooklyn Dodgers. "The Dodger ownership at that time was not ready to give up efforts being made to keep the franchise there, 0 Malley said. Council members James C. Corman, - Rosalind Wyman and John S. Gibson were among those who criticized what they called Holland's Insinuations. They said city attorney Roger Arnebergh, county counsel Hal Kennedy and O'Malley should have been invited to the meeting to answer the accusations.

Later, in Philadelphia, Giant pitcher Ruben Gomes and first baseman Orlanda Cepeda re vealed they had been fined the same amount for their part la the melee. ' In a telegram to Murtaugh, Giles stated that the disturbance "could have been avoided had you not come off the bench when the um pire was going to talk with your pitcher, just as he did with (Ru ben) Gomez. For your conduct you are fined $100." Here i what happened Sunday: Gomez hit Bill Mazeroski with a pitched ball in the fourth inning. Gomez had to dodge a pitch by Vernon Law in the next inning. When umpire Frank Daseoll walked out to warn Law, Mur taugh charged off the bench. While 'doing so, he exchanged words with Gomez and the fracas was on. Cepeda, coming to the aid of Gome his roommate, had to be restrained by Willie Mays, who tackled Cepeda from behind. The melee lasted IS minutes, in volving managers, players and coaches from both clubs. Riled br what he termed a "dis graceful, uncalled for brawl," Joe L. .Brown, Pirates' general man ager, filed a strong verbal tele phone protest with Giles Monday. Newcombe Says Campy s Loss Responsible for Dodgers' Slump By JOE REICHLER PHILADELPHIA WV-Don New combe tells you in two ' words what he thinks is mostly wrong with the Dodgers. . "No Campanella." "What's the use of kidding." said the huge Los Angeles pitcher Tuesday before the team left for Pittsburgh. "You can talk all you want about the Coliseum, About old age that's catching up with the team, about the failure of the guys to hit. "But the real truth Is that without Roy Campanella we're just another ball club. He was the heart and soul ef the team. He was the difference. Every body on the club knows it. You just can't take the best catcher in baseball off a team and be the same." Newcombe is off to the worst start of his career. He has started five games and he has been knocked out in all of them. His record is 0-4. He hurt his shoulder in his first start of the season. in San Francisco. It was thought at the time the injury was a pulled muscle, but only recently New combe learned the muscle had been torn. "It is all right pow." Newcombe says. 'With due respect to our catchers," Don said. "I'm sure my record would be much bet ter if Campy were behind the plate. Ia fact, the other . pitch ers' records would be better, too. Take Don Drysdale, for In stance. I think he misses Roy the most. "Campy nursed Don along prac tically from the first day he joined the club. He knows more about Drysdale than Don knows him self. The kid was his personal protege. He watched him like a baby. He knew how to get the most out of him. I'll bet if Campy were catching him he'd have won three or four more games." (Drys dale's record, is 2-7;. Newcombe emphasised be had no wish to belittle the Dodgers' current catching trio. "They just don't know." he said. "They have limited abil ity and experience. They're do ing the best they can under the cirou instances. "CampaneHa was the greatest catcher basefttflfcever saw," Don continued. "I never saw anybody who could set up the hitters the way he could. He knew every batter's weakness. He was a master at handling pitchers. He could sense right away what your best pitch was. lie made it easier for the lot of us. "He'd practically pitch your game for you. I'm aa experi enced pitcher, but lots of times I'd forget certain things about a hitter. He never forgot He helped me in so many ways, I Just can't name them all," said Newcombe. Don continued: "Campy was an asset to the club even when he wasn't play ing. He was the team's morale builder. He kept all of us in good spirits. He knew when to be serious and when to make a funny re mark. He kept us loose and laughing all the time." Statesman, Salem, Ore., Wed., May 28, '58 (Sec.

Group Bans Jump Shoe LONDON tn-The elevated high Jumping shoe used by Russians to break an American athletic monopoly was declared illegal Tuesday and banned throughout the world. The International Amateur Ath letics Federation (IAAF) banning came as a complete surprise. No action was expected on the con troversial thick soled shoe until August yhen the IAAF meets in Stockholm. The move means that Soviet high jumpers Yuri Stepanov, Vladimir Sltkln and Igor Kash ltarov cannot use the shoes Rus sian officials devised for them during the United States-Soviet track union dual track and field meet In Moscow July 27-28. Use of the Shoe sometimes gave Russian jumpers as much as a one-inch advantage. The shoe not only started them off one inch higher than other jumpers but helped ease the shock when the foot pounded against the ground on the take Pff. Stepanov made the world's highest recorded leap July 13, 1957 in Leningrad wearing a built-up shoe. He cleared 7 feet 1 Inches. Sltkln jumped 7 feet Inches in Odessa and Kashkarov cleared 7 feet M inch la Mos cow. The Russian light athletics sec tion of the Soviet government of fered Stepanov s Jifrnp as a world record. It was never ratified and action was delayed until the IAAF could consider the shoe. Failure to accept Stepanov's jump leaves Charlie Dumas of the United States still la posses sion of the world record. Dumas was the first man ta history to clear seven feet. His record jump was seven feet, one-half inch in Los Angeles on June 29, 1956. Dumas and other leading Amer lean jumpers used ordinary, sole shoes.. Until the Russian trio began topping seven feet the high jump event at big international meets was usually an all-Amencan af fair. However, last year the best eight jumps were all by Russians wearing the illegal shoe.
